Coding wouldn't be any different - only the actual LEDs are different within the taillamp assembly.

Taillight upgrade
I received my lights yesterday, and will install them Friday. I hope to have them coded at the beginning of next week. It's turning into an expensive project with the addition of the required (for my '08) module, but I still don't regret it. I typically keep my cars until the next model cycle, and it's nice to keep it "up to date". And the LEDs do look better and work better. I don't understand why BMW regressed from the end of th E46 model run to the E92 on the lights, unless it's just so they could offer this upgrade mid-cycle. Wierd.

But I thought the E92 Pre-LCI was already LED..just an LED bar. So this "upgrade" is just a refresher still.

All lamps are LED on the LCI versions with exception the reverse lamp - which is still halogen.

Can dealers tell if the FRM2 has been changed to FRM3? Does the Vehicle Order, build date and all that data transfer somehow to the new one?
xsboost, do you plan on buying the EAS harness? I'm hoping there are no wiring differences as I'd like to order the Euro version as well, which seems to be about $700 shipped + $89 for the EAS harness. I think I can live with the startup flicker unless it throws a code on the dash. |

Bulb out errors will be present if the vehicle is not coded, the video in Post #1 shows pre and post coding behavior differences.

Model change regression
BMW made a big deal on the 2003.5 lights of how the LED brake indicators react so much more quickly, then the went back to conventional incandescents. That, plus the longer life, are big advantages for the LEDs. I hope they don't "regress" on the next model change.

Light instal / old light resale?
I installed my tail and trunk lights from EAS today. It's very strightforward; a 15-20-minute jub if you've done it before, but took me about 40. The mounting nuts, BTW, are 7mm for the tails and 10mm for the trunks. I will get the coding done Tuesday. I like the looks a lot, and they seem much brighter.
Does anyone know if the old lights have any resale value, other than for crash replacement? Are the early regular E92 lights different than the M3 ones?

GregW / Oregon: Coding your new FRM3 should solve this. m328ci: Please see if your autologic dealer can inform you with the coding index of your footwell module to determine if there are any differences between EU and US models.

I have seen plenty of the LCI tail lights which have the red LED turn signal.
Has anyone posted a photo of the LCI tail lights with the amber LED taillights? |

They look exactly the same without the blinkers flashing. No one has posted video of an LCI E92 with its rear turn signals or hazards flashing that I've seen.

Where is the FRM3 module located - under the driver's side dash? Mine goes in for coding tomorrow. First time this shop has done it, so hoping for the best. Hope it works - I can ignore the bulb out warning, but the rapid turn signal flashing is embarassing!

The FRM is located under the glovebox, 2 torx screws are holding on the cover.
